Show Tunes Susan Boyle Should Sing

Posted: 5/2/09 at 9:50pm

Post here the songs that Ms Boyle should feature on her upcoming "Broadway My Way" CD.

I'll start:

"Miss Marmelstein" from I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE

(I think the song will be very effective when sung with a Scottish brogue)

"Long live God!" (GODSPELL)

Let me quickly add: "I Was Spawned in a Ditch" from MAN OF LA MANCHA. Sheena Easton proved to the world that the phrase, "Take the clouds from your eyes and see me as I really am!" should only be spoken by a Scot.

If it will make her shut up she can sing anything as far as I'm concerned.

I would love to see her tackle "Enter Sandman" by Metallica however.

While we're at it"

"Why, Oh, Why Oh Why-oo? Why Did We Ever Leave Ohio?" from WONDERFUL TOWN.

The casting's a little unconventional, but I could definitely see Susan Boyle as Eileen.
